Link Aadhaar Card with BSNL Mobile Number Online or Via OTP, IVR
Last Updated : July 6, 2022, 5:34 p.m.
It has now become mandatory for you to link your mobile number with your Aadhaar card. Also, if you link your Aadhaar card to your mobile number, then it enables the government to authenticate your data. Moreover, to access the government launched Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) services, you must link your Aadhaar card to your BSNL mobile number. This BSNL mobile number can then be used to access different Aadhaar card related services after being able to receive the OTP through SMS. Furthermore, if the Aadhaar card is misplaced, then you can use this BSNL mobile number to retrieve it. Generally, there are three ways to link your BSNL mobile number with your Aadhaar card that are as follows:
Link BSNL Mobile Number with Aadhar Offline
You can get your Aadhaar card linked with your BSNL mobile number by visiting the BSNL centre and providing them a copy of your aadhaar card. All you have to do is just follow these steps given below:
- Visit a BSNL Centre in your neighbourhood
- Carry a current BSNL SIM card as well as a self attested copy of your Aadhar card
- Give the BSNL executive your phone number
- BSNL will email you a 4-digit OTP to your phone number
- Provide this OTP to the executive
- Also, provide your Aadhaar number
- Now, please share your fingerprint (biometric) for verification
- BSNL will send you a message within 24 hours
- To finish the e-KYC procedure, respond with "Y"
- Your Aadhaar number will be linked with your BSNL mobile number
- After successful verification, you will receive a confirmation message
Link Aadhar and BSNL Mobile Number through IVR
The Central Government has requested that telecom service providers offer the option of associating Aadhaar with mobile phones via IVR as well. Here's how to accomplish it in a few simple steps:
- Call the BSNL toll free number
- Follow the IVR commands
- Choose the "Link Aadhaar with Mobile Number" option
- Enter and confirm your 12 digit Aadhaar number
- Your Aadhaar number will be associated with your BSNL mobile number
- A successful verification message will be sent to your mobile number.
Link BSNL Number with Aadhaar through OTP
The government has established various options for citizens to link their Aadhaar numbers to their BSNL mobile numbers for SIM verification using a One-time Password (OTP). However, this service would only be available to consumers who have previously linked their mobile numbers to their Aadhaar card. In case a person has many phone numbers, then he will not be able to utilise this OTP feature on all of them. To verify your mobile numbers that are not associated with Aadhaar, you must first visit the shop and complete the verification procedure offline. For verification, just supply a self attested copy of your Aadhaar card. Also, re-verifying a mobile number with Aadhaar is free of charge. For verification, you only need to provide your phone number, Aadhaar number, and biometric information.
